No need. You can't help yourself.

Mind you, if you do back pedal and mean it, sinners are allowed to repent, according to the sky pixie. So who am I to complain?

Just stop making out the planning and execution was good, the leadership fit for purpose, the men were fully aware of what they were letting themselves in for and the Court Martial system wasn't abused for expediency and scaring others.

All of which run a thread through your own tattered threads.

Coincidence. I have got involved in some public health work recently. Just been reading a paper about nutrition monitoring in the community. The preface mentions how shocked the army were over the poor health and nutrition scores of recruits in WW1. Their solution wasn't to reject or a program of building up through better diet to go with the exercise in training. No, they just lowered the bar.

The principle was still there over fifty years later, (The Black Report.)

Fascinating.
